What better way to start a new year than to prepare for an Imperial invasion?

When you need to defend your planets, often it is unfeasible to maintain a strong fleet presence at all possible targets. In these times, the New Republic and Imperial Remnant turn to the Golans for local defense.

The smallest of these, at 1231 meters is the Golan I. This platform is sufficient to handle most small corvette and frigate raids, however anything larger is capable of overpowering them.

The second, almost twice as large at 2158 meters, is the Golan II. Although its damage output increase is not directly proportional to its size increase over the Golan I, its hull integrity is far superior and as a result is able to win against most enemy cruisers in a one on one situation.

The final iteration, at 2600 meters, is the Golan III Space Defense Novagaun. This platform is extremely powerful and durable, and capable of holding off even many capital ship types. These have historically been found only at the most important of planets, such as Coruscant, Bastion and Muunilinst.

Used in concert with a well-organized fleet, Golans can create a defensive position around a planet which is extremely difficult to penetrate.

So is there any role for a heavy constructor? I wouldn't mind doing away with it entirely since it's just a complicated way of making starbases.

Did you see that? Know what that cost? $58,000. I mean, what a waste. It wasn't even funny. That's $58,000 that could have gone to curing leukemia. Or. muscular dystrophy. Or... what does Michael J. Fox have? That. Alright, let's watch some damn cartoons.

Beautiful screenshots, nice to see systems like Coruscant being surrounded by orbital defenses...

"That's not what the Empire would have done, Commander. What the Empire would have done was build a super-colossal Yuuzhan Vong-killing battle machine. They would have called it the Nova Colossus or the Galaxy Destructor or the Nostril of Palpatine or something equally grandiose. They would have spent billions of credits, employed thousands of contractors and subcontractors, and equipped it with the latest in death-dealing technology. And you know what would have happened? It wouldn't have worked. They'd forget to bolt down a metal plate over an access hatch leading to the main reactors, or some other mistake, and a hotshot enemy pilot would drop a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done."―Han Solo, to Vana Dorja
